Abstract: A method for treating a knife cutting edge with a laser deposition (sintering) process using a composition coating such as a diamond powder or a substance above 5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. The coating providing an abrasion resistant cutting edge and creates a differential hardness on the total cutting edge. The differential hardness extends the cutting ability of the knife through a wear-resistant surface on a treated surface and a faster wear on an untreated surface causing the cutting edge to be self sharpening as the untreated surface wears away.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for treating a cutting edge with a carbide coating to form a high endurance cutting edge that is self sharpening. The cutting edge has one side of its bevel treated with an electronically impregnated coating to create a wear resistant surface employing Tungsten, Titanium or Vanadium Carbide. The coating providing an abrasion resistant cutting edge and creates a differential hardness on the total cutting edge thereby extending its cutting ability through a wear-resistant surface on its treated face and a faster wear on the untreated surface causing the cutting edge to be self sharpening.

Abstract: This invention relates to the identification and treatment of the effects of products derived from oxidative pathways for polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism, i.e., oxidative stress in a patient by monitoring the metabolism of DHA or by administering DHA.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system utilizing biochemical markers and genetic markers to diagnose, predict, and/or monitor intervention of a number of diseases and conditions that have unresolved oxidative stress as an important component. The present invention relates generally to markers and assays for diagnosing, predicting, and monitoring disease, particularly disease-relevant oxidative stress and lipid metabolites and mediators. The oxidative stress, lipid metabolite and lipid mediator biochemical and genetic markers may be further combined with other disease associated or disease relevant markers in methods and assays for diagnosis, monitoring, and assessment of disease, particularly of complex diseases with multi-component factors. The system, methods and assays are applicable to various diseases, including autism, asthma, and Alzheimer's disease.
